Canon Lodge Care Center

Canon Lodge Care Center, over on 905 Harding Ave in Canon City, Colorado, is a nursing home managed by Life Care Centers of America, and though it isn't taking new patients right now, it's a place where folks who need both short-term rehabilitation and long-term skilled nursing care get help. The facility handles post-hospital recovery, ongoing care for the very frail, and special needs like Alzheimer's and dementia care, all under the direction of licensed professionals working around the clock. Residents get individualized care plans that fit their own needs and goals, thanks to an in-house team of therapists and nurses, and there's regular therapy services like VitalStim therapy for people with swallowing difficulties and weekly visits from a reflexologist, which some residents find relaxing. The place feels homelike, and the staff likes to think of it as neighbors caring for neighbors, with the atmosphere and facilities both designed to support comfort as well as well-being, and there's a mix of inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation with up-to-date equipment available for those who need it. Canon Lodge also runs Canon Rehab at TLC, offering outpatient therapy for people from the community who aren't staying full-time. Everything gets tailored to the person, whether it's care after surgery, long-term support, or extra therapy sessions, and the staff speaks English throughout the facility. Specialties aren't specified, but the care is wide-ranging for older adults or anyone needing a lot of nursing help.
